Server management refers to maintaining the operating system on your company’s servers. Your servers typically enable the sharing of data or resources with everyone using your network. It’s the working hub for your users’ storage, business applications and printing functions.
When all is well, your business’s computers constantly talk to your servers because they are the central brains of your network. They provide redundant hard disk drives as protection in case of mechanical failure; they provide tools for controlling access to all the data your team uses; and they are the traffic
cops for printing functions and resource sharing. Ensuring your servers’ health is critical to your business operations.
When your file server is running at its best, the entire organization operates more smoothly. Printing and processing speeds are up and data backup is quick. When something’s askew — perhaps security
updates have not been installed properly or data backups are misdirected — your system is more vulnerable to attacks, data may be damaged and customer service may suffer markedly.
